A systematic review on the effectiveness of anti-choking suction devices and identification of research gaps
2020, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :Abdominal thrusts are still one of the first-line techniques for a severe obstruction, combined with focused back blows and chest thrusts.5,6 There is some anecdotal and retrospective evidence to support these recommendations.9–15 One review of a prehospital database studied obstructed airway injuries that Emergency Medical Services (EMS) responded to.
At last, some research on choking

2010, American Journal of MedicineCitation Excerpt :The prone position itself generates high chest pressure because of changes in the viscoelastic properties of the respiratory system, but also high intra-abdominal pressure, and is associated with an increased functional residual capacity of the lungs.11 All 3 elements are considered to enhance the effectiveness of back blows to generate sufficient airflow to drive a foreign body toward the mouth.7,8,12 Patients are also in a head-down position, a position that could allow gravity to aid in the removal of the foreign body.9
Part 5: Adult basic life support: 2010 International consensus on cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency cardiovascular care science with treatment recommendations
2010, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :In adults and children with FBAO (out-of-hospital and in-hospital), does the provision of abdominal thrusts, and/or back slaps, and/or chest thrusts, compared with no action, improve outcome (e.g., clearance of obstruction, ROSC, survival)? Case series and case reports have documented successful relief of FBAO in conscious victims with the use of back blows (LOE 4161,162), abdominal thrusts (LOE 4161–165), and chest thrusts (LOE 4161; LOE 5166). More than one technique was occasionally required to relieve the obstruction.
